There are  until I can go skydiving!o

Home: Highlands Ranch Colorado

Family: My parents are Robert and Jennifer Tinucci. I also have an 8lyear old brother named Justin and three dogs (2 Labradors and 1lMaltese) named Hershey, Six Pence, and Schnapps. o

Interests:  I really enjoy skydiving (in the wind tunnel), playing soccer (I like to play left mid field) and traveling.  I have traveled all over the world.  Places I have visited include: England, Spain, Italy, Australia, Mexico, Canada, Costa Rica, Panama, Jamaica, and many of the states in the US.  My favorite US city is San Francisco.  My favorite city in the world is London.  I also have a stamp collection that was passed down to me by my Grandfather. o

About Me:  I have lived in Colorado since I was 8 months old and I attend Northridge Elementary School in Highlands Ranch, Colorado and I am in the 6th grade there.  Since my school is year round, I get to travel with my family to fun places all over the world when I am off track.  It is awesome to be able to visit places and learn about different cultures and people. I am in a special program at school called the Discovery Program which is a program for Gifted and Talented students.  My favorite subject is math.  I enjoy solving difficult problems! o

I have been playing soccer since I was five, it is an awesome sport!  My favorite position is left mid field. Of course, my other sport is skydiving.  The most fun thing about skydiving is that it is great to be able to “fly”.  I definitely want to jump out of an airplane someday. The idea of jumping from a plane does not scare me at all, my mom and dad say that I can’t jump until I am 18 years old and then if I want to jump it will be my decision (I have already decided that I am going to!).   I started skydiving in the wind tunnel in Colorado just after it opened in 2006.  I joined kids league (which is where kids share time in the tunnel twice per week) and really liked it.  Then my parents both started to get hooked on the tunnel so we go there several times per week.  I have been to three different tunnels in the United States, Colorado, Arizona and Las Vegas. I can’t wait to visit every tunnel in the world! My favorite one so far is my home tunnel in Colorado.    I really like all of the instructors there!  The wind speeds are great too!  I fly head down in the tunnel and some day I would like to be a skydiving coach so that I can help teach others to learn this sport!  There are more boys than girls in skydiving, so it is really great to be a “female skydiver”.  I love to perform for people at the tunnel .  When I am flying and there are lots of people watching, I like to show them all of my tricks.  Skydivng makes me “different” from most other kids, I have learned that it is fun to be different and unique!  If I could work at the tunnel now, I would.  As soon as I turn 16 I want to get a job at Skyventure.  I am pretty shy and skydiving has helped me to be less shy.  I have to learn to talk to lots of people and I can’t be worried about big crowds watching me fly.  My brother and I are trying to convince our parents to take us to another country to skydive out of an airplane before we turn 18, but so far, we haven’t had any luck! o

It has been a lot of fun to be a part of Team Future.  We are the only kids’ skydiving team in the world! My brother and I have to work together to get as many points as we can when we compete (only in wind tunnels).  Team Future has brought us closer to each other, but we still fight sometimes. I feel like the skydiving has been a great opportunity for my brother and me and I want to help as many other people learn this sport as I can.  I hope to be able to coach people very soon!  I also want to help break as many formation records as I can after I turn 18! Knowing how to fly and being able to fly in a wind tunnel is a wonderful and unique experience and I hope to continue flying for a very long time! o
